It presents the practical biological approaches currently employed to address environmental problems and provides the reader with a working knowledge of the science that underpins them. Biotechnology has now become a realistic alternative to many established approaches for manufacturing,land remediation, pollution control and waste management and is therefore an essential aspect of environmental studies. Fully updated to reflect new developments in the field and with numerous new case studies throughout this editionwill be essential reading for undergraduates and masters students taking modules in Biotechnology or Pollution Control as part of Environmental Science, Environmental Management or Environmental Biology programmes INDICE: Foreword Preface Acknowledgements Chapter 1 Introduction to Environmental Biotechnology Chapter 2 Microbes and Metabolism Chapter 3 Fundamentalsof Biological Intervention Chapter 4 Pollution and Pollution Control Chapter 5 Contaminated Land and Bio-remediation Chapter 6 Aerobes and Effluents Chapter 7 Phytotechnology and Photosynthesis Chapter 8 Biotechnology and Waste Chapter 9 Genetic Manipulation Chapter 10 Integrated Environmental Biotechnology Bibliography and suggested further reading
